EPCOT (which stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) was a personal vision of Walt Disney, one of his last great ambitions. It was to be an actual city where people would work, live, and play.

Epcot is divided into two main themed areas: Future World and World Showcase. The World Showcase usually opens two hours after park opening and remains open later than the Future World section of the park. Most major attractions in Future World remain open until the park's closing time. A secondary park gate is located between the France and United Kingdom pavilions of World Showcase and is known as the International Gateway.
